Simple rule

Terms are planned early and confirmed with suppliers.

Hotels, cruises, boats, trains, domestic flights and special-access suppliers may set their own deposits, cancellation fees and release dates. VGO flags these during quote confirmation.

Before final confirmation

Hotels and cruises

Release dates and deposits can vary by season and property.

Flights and trains

Ticketing rules can make some costs non-refundable once issued.

Special access

Some hosts, venues and experiences may have their own terms or capacity limits.
